Super Fantasy Zone/Gameplay

Opa-Opa must clear the levels by moving through them and shooting down all of the "Enemy Generators." Once every "Enemy Generator" in the level has been destroyed a "Menon Guardian" will appear. These are essentially the bosses of each level. In order to obtain better weapons/equipment, etc., the player needs to collect gold. Gold coins can be collected when an enemy is destroyed. Vast amounts of Gold will also be given when Menon Guardians are defeated.

The Gold Values are as follows:

5000, 2000, 1000, 500, 200, 100, 50, 10 gold

Bosses

Round One - Picknica

The boss for level one is a giant floating pumpkin, which can be seen on the cover art for the game.

It also teleports around the screen, moving to where Opa-Opa has just been.

Round Two - Kazarne

The boss for level two is a metal face covered with small gun turrets, which all need to be destroyed to defeat it. The gun turrets shoot in turn, and when a couple have been destroyed the rest will start to rotate.

Round Three - Niagara

This boss is a floating metal fish, which attacks by sucking the player in and shooting scales at them. It is hard to kill as the only time it is vulnerable is when it is inhaling, and this is when its mouth is open.

Round Four -Risscave

This boss is a metal octopus, which attacks by swinging its axe-like tentacles and shooting at the player. The only vulnerable part of this boss is its face.

Round Five - Grandiuss

The boss for this level are two square stone heads. They move in sequence, parallel to each other round the screen. As they move they open and close their eyes, and they can only be damaged when their eyes are open.

Round Six - Le-Picker

The boss for this level is a metal ship that conducts electricity from the ground and air, and then uses it to fire balls of energy at the player. When he has run out of energy he charges again, creating bolts of energy at his top and bottom.

Round Seven - Aflorious

This Boss is a giant nautilus that fires balls of energy at the player. Once the player destroys him, it multiplies. First into four, then into sixteen. Although the smallest nautili do not shoot at Opa-Opa, they remain on-screen when defeated, still able to kill by collision.

Round Eight - Menone

A gambit where you must defeat every boss you have faced so far. You can use the shop before the start of this round.
